Lucy's Vietnamese - Bedford Stuyvesant

I always order online here- usually it’s very good and my go-to when I’m sick. I ordered recently (brisket pho) and the meat was dry, and had discoloration as if it had gone bad. I was massively disappointed. I tried emailing to resolve the issue but no response. Waste of money

The intense aroma of this restaurant promises something more than what it delivers. Not bad but not quite great either. The Pho is not traditional as a bbq beef brisket and mushroom entry into the world of pho. The soup is great, the beef brisket is okay for me. It tastes good, and the portions are reasonable for the price. Feels like pho for a western palette and if that’s what you’re looking for that’s what’ll you get here. *vegan options seem like a rarity for Vietnamese places so that’s a plus

I just had the best Banh Mi I've ever had. In my opinion you can't beat it when it has fresh local bread with smoked brisket. A solid meal that doesn't leave you feel too full or still wanting more. It's just right. They have outdoor and indoor seating, quick delivery, competent staff who manage the place. I recommend this place on my first experience. Lucy's has a good vegan menu and many other options such as noodle soup, summer roles, drinks and more. Definitely check this place out.

The short rib is incredible. Smokey, juicy, perfectly tender meat that pairs so well with the pho and vermicelli. Why the four stars then? The prices are a bit steep for the portions, and one time I got the chicken spring rolls and they tasted like dirty sink water (or how that smells). Stick to the short rib and you won’t be disappointed!

The moment that sip of a broth touched my tongue, the standard of Pho has been set! That umami taste still lingers in my mouth and I knew I have found my go to place for a Pho. Clean finish! Banh Mi was divine, the smoked brisket...goodness! IT just melt in your mouth! Im curious to try everything on the menu!

I do not disagree with some reviewers here as their Banh Mi's are pricey. But the Brisket Banh Mi 🥪 I've ordered is quite good with Hoisin and Sriracha sauce. Also, the bottled coffee ☕ is great as well.

Happy to be able to find banh mi sandwiches that weren't just pork and/or beef based! The chicken and tofu options were both tasty. Their Vietnamese coffee is also really good!

This place is kind of silly. 17$ for a bowl of pho with smoked brisket. Ok, fine, the brisket is smoked 12 hours or something. But then they serve it with a "100 percent vegetarian" broth. Why not just serve it in a beef broth, like a traditional pho? Since they already went through the effort to make the beef? That would elevate the quality of the pho by double. Instead I am leaving half satisfied, and feeling like maybe I've been ripped off.

After leaving another restaurant disappointed, I was so relieved to catch this spot just before closing--and honestly, it hit the spot. Food: 4/5 I ordered the beef bánh mì for my husband and pho for myself. One thing I found really interesting was how this place focuses on vegan Vietnamese cuisine--but still offers meat options. While I didn't go for the tofu this time, the concept itself was cool and made me curious to come back and try more. The bánh mì was solid--good portion, decent amount of meat, and a nice balance of pickled veggies. The pho wasn't the richest or most flavorful broth I've ever had (especially compared to more traditional beef-based versions), but it was comforting and definitely satisfying. I'm guessing the lighter broth comes from their plant-forward philosophy, and I can't really fault them for that. Service: 5/5 They were super fast. I placed my order about 20 minutes before closing, and they still prepared everything quickly and with care. No rushing, no attitude--just kindness and efficiency. For a late-night, last-minute meal, it was impressive. Value: A $40 meal for two in NYC? That's rare these days. Considering the portion sizes and speed, I'd call it a win. It's a great option if you're trying to stick to a budget but still want to eat out. Overall: This is a solid local gem, especially if you're looking for Vietnamese food with vegan options or just want something warm, fast, and budget-friendly. It's not the most mind-blowing pho I've had, but I'd definitely come back to try more from their menu--and maybe get that tofu next time. Bonus: it looks like they do a ton of delivery, so if you're in the area, you've got a go-to comfort food spot just a tap away

I was in the mood for a Chicken Banh Mi sandwich today and I really love Lucy's! I visited the Bushwick location a few years back during an Elite Event and loved the experience. Today's delivery was equally exceptional. The banh mi was packed with chicken, cilantro, daikon and mayo, mildly spicy on a toasted baguette. Totally scrumptious! I also ordered a chicken vermicelli salad for work lunch and their delicious bottled Black Lemon tea . I got a BOGO on the tea. The meal was packed safely and all utensils and napkins were included as well.. and chopsticks! As I stated in my previous review, I still Love Lucy and her Banh mi! *review for delivery only.

Really excited to have discovered this Vietnamese spot in the neighborhood! My boyfriend and I ordered takeout from here, chicken pho with extra vegetables, extra broth and extra noodles. Normally, I don't love chicken pho and would opt for another protein alternative but this chicken was really tender and flavorful. The noodles were a little too chewy for my preference but did hold their shape well for leftovers. Vegetables were fresh and tasty. Their broth had a slight tang to it that wasn't my favorite but we still really enjoyed our dinner from here and would order from here again. They have vegetarian meat alternatives on the menu and I plan to try these soon.

I almost got someone's pho lol. I ordered the brisket banh mi. I received my bag and it was so heavy that I had to look inside. I looked inside and I saw deconstructed pho. Luckily, I decided to check the bag. What I actually purchased was really delicious and the brisket was soft and moist. Very flavorful. The last time I had a banh mi It wasn't good so I didn't buy it for years.

This is a cute and comfy location, appeared to be very clean. Friendly environment and service. I had the Vegan Ginger Chick'n vermicelli, my first time trying a Vietnamese dish. I liked it, it was light and fresh. Veggies were crisp and the vegan chicken was very flavored. I wasn't crazy about the summer roll, I would have preferred less noodles and more veggies with the shrimp. And shrimp could have been cleaned more thoroughly. Would come back to try the pho bowls, I also love their cute to go bag.

Had a Banh Mi, it was ok. If I were given a multiple choice test on the chicken (on the sandwich) and the two options were "grilled" and "microwaved" I would have checked the latter. Staff was nice, nothing to complain about. Otherwise the vibe is mostly new-food-options-for-a-new-building as seen so often in Brooklyn these days. Not bad, but a bit too cookie-cutter to cause serious excitement.

This may be the first time I've given a place 5 stars immediately after I ate and Lucy's Vietnamese - Bedford Stuyvesant deserves every star. To start off, you can smell the delicious food as you pass by. That and the neon ground sign was what caught my attention about this place. I hadn't heard of it before but a quick check of its Yelp stats let me know that it might be worth a stop, the next time that I passed. Sure enough, I popped inside two days later on my way to the bus. I saw the Smoked Brisket Pho on the menu and was sold. No exaggeration, my order was ready in less than 5 minutes and my server was very sweet. Once I arrived home, I devoured the Pho and immediately started drafting this review. The Smoked Brisket Pho blew me away and I've already reordered it 2 more times. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet but if all the other dishes are even half as good as this pho, I'm in!

I came here for lunch on a rainy Sunday. They had outdoor seating but only two tables inside. One table had bench seating and one had stools. I had the tofu pho. It was delicious. Tasty, hearty, and filling. The flavors were subtle, but they provided sriracha chili sauce which gave it a nice kick. The vegetables were fresh and crunchy. I also had the vegan ginger chick'n spring roll. It's rare and awesome to find a Vietnamese restaurant with vegan meat options. However, they put the chick'n roll on the same tray as my partner's chicken roll. We had to ask which was which so if you are vegan/vegetarian and sensitive to this, make sure to ask for separate platings. The roll had a bit too much noodle and not much of the other ingredients. I didn't taste any ginger on the chicken. Still, I enjoyed it, especially with the accompanying peanut sauce, which was sweet and savory.

One of the best food deliveries in a long time- if their delivered Pho is this good, I can't imagine how amazing it is at the restaurant! I ordered extra broth, and was able to have Pho for 2 days! The lemongrass chicken is seasoned to perfection, and the broth was so good, I had a cup for breakfast like it was tea. Absolutely perfect order, arrived quickly, their delivery bags are so sturdy and totally reusable! Love this spot.

Delicious 'chicken' banh mi sandwich! Everything fresh and generous and sooo tasty. Will definitely be returning.

Ordered the brisket banh mi, lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl, and brisket roll on seamless after reading good reviews on Yelp. The restaurant earned 2.5 stars for fast delivery & good prices. Unfortunately the buck stopped there since the food was hard to throw back. We ended up drowning it in sriracha and hoisin to mask the bad tasting meat and mushrooms. Would not order again.

I got the lemongrass chicken pho and unfortunately was not a fan. I possibly am not a pho person, which could be why. Although, I must say the bag they put the food in was super cute. The food was delivered so I'm not sure about how the service is.

Best pho I've had in brooklyn by far. The dish has lots of meat and tofu. The broth was flavorful and mouth watering. I had a vegan friend come with us and it was convenient since they had vegan options. I would for sure come back again. Atmosphere was cozy and homey. Service was 5/5. Lovely workers. Would for sure come back!

I really came to tell y'all how good their pho issssss. The brisket is super flavorful my goodness!! My grandmother had the brisket Bàhn Mí and she enjoyed it, just had a lot of carrots/cilantro. I enjoyed my lemongrass chicken bowl, I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms but I love that they cut it up small where it didn't bother me. Lovedddd everything here! & the workers were nice plus inside was comfortable. They also have seating outside if the seats inside are occupied. Highly recommend if you're in the neighborhood or want to try Vietnamese food.

Foods really good, fresh tasting produce used. I ordered delivery. I'm not sure what it's like inside there.

Easily the best pho in this part of Brooklyn, and maybe in all of Brooklyn together with the other Lucy's locations? Just wish it were closer to me. The brisket pho is so good and very filling. If you are very hungry, add one summer roll and you will be totally full and happy, but the pho by itself is enough for most people. Generous amount of brisket in there. I like that it's not fancy and just counter service. Get in and get out. Or I imagine most of their business is take-out, but I like to sit in there. It's cozy and has all the extra things I need for a banging bowl of pho.

Staff is great and cute place. If you like noodle soup this place is fine. It's not pho in the traditional sense. It's their own flair. I was looking for an authentic bowl of pho.

Overall rating: 4.9 I'm not sure why this has low ratings. Best Pho I've ever had! I got the shrimp summer roll, iced tea and brisket pho. I got it to go & love that they packed the meat and broth separate. It's on the pricier side, so if I come back - it would only be to just get the pho. I'm more of a ramen girl, but was soo surprised that I love it so much. It was very flavorful!! I'm thinking about it now Highly recommend!

Man. This place has become the local hangout after my friends and I go to a two-hour dance class. Whether you get the Pho, the Bánh Mi, or anything else, it's delicious (I've only had those two, but I also hear that the Summer Rolls are great!). If you're not too hungry and you ask nicely, you can even get just a side of the smoked brisket for around $5. The interior is a little small for our group of six, so we usually eat outside in their outdoor seating area. The staff is all super friendly. My class cycle just ended, but I definitely look forward to the next one, so I can stop by here for a delicious meal! Definitely plan on returning!

Absolutely loved my experience. The staff was fast with getting the food out. I was very comfortable and cozy in the space. Check out my Instagram @livinglifewithkylie to see a full reel about the place.

We did takeout- the brisket bahn mi is glorious! Also LOVED the spring rolls with the ginger vegan chicken. Brisket pho was also nice.

Definitely must come here. Does not have a huge selection which is also on the plus side. This way you are not staring and wondering what to order. You must try the beef brisket sandwich.

We ordered takeout at this restaurant recently and was disappointed in the quality of the food. We ordered the lemongrass chicken pho and several spring rolls as appetizers. The spring rolls were delicious,especially with the peanut sauce. However the chicken didn't taste fresh. It may have been marinated in a sauce to preserve it. The texture and color of the chicken was off and strange. We couldn't finish our meals. Perhaps their vegan options are better. I would not order the chicken there.

I love Lucy's over in Bushwick so I was excited to try out this location. They have outdoor seating and will serve you in bowls (unlike in Bed-Stuy). The staff are friendly and they offer discounts for military, first responders, and healthcare workers - great for that community. I ordered the smoked brisket and tofu pho. Both were great and filled with lots of protein, noodles, and veggies. I also appreciate that they had custom lining, and silverware packaging. Although I am not thrilled at their use of one-time use silverware here. I appreciate their commitment to custom branding. Everything about the pho were great, though I would say that I found the broth here bit lacking in flavor in depth. I'm not sure if it was an off day for them, but the broth over in bushwick was head over heels superior than the one here. I'll need to come back and find out if it was a fluke or not.

Absolutely excellent. All ingredients fresh, quick service, friendly staff. Great for take out. They do have dine in but it's limited seating.

I am so in love with their pho, the meat is crazy tender. I also really love their to-go bottled Vietnamese coffee! I bought one with my dinner and opened it up in the morning the next day and it was delicious, going to have to stop myself from getting hooked. The place is very nice inside, cute for date night or 4 person groups! And the workers were very friendly and helpful with menu questions I had!! Their to-go packaging is also 100/100!!

Yummy! This place is perfect for a warm bowl of pho. I adore that they packaged my to-go order with such care and included all the condiments I needed. It was a large serving for $14.95. Additionally, they used a reusable bag! Would highly recommend. Basing this review on my DoorDash order.

Can't go wrong with the banh mi or pho. Quick delivery. Simple indoor and outdoor seating.

Wow! I love this place. I ordered my first order ever throw Uber eats and they had such an attention to detail for the pho delivery, with the soup, meat/noodles, fixings all separated. They even had packets of sriracha and hoisin sauce. So good. The lemongrass chicken was a delicious addition to the soup, making it flavorful and not overpowering (Im fighting a cold and didn't opt for the delicious sounding brisket pho). I will absolutely be returning here to order the next time I want some pho. They also have a reusable bag that everything got delivered in! Love!!

OMG I love coming here staff is so welcoming and kind she even offered samples love the food ofc and me and friends come super often. yall should def come here

This place is so great! The staff are so kind and offered samples of a whole kid sized meal! I mean their service is incredible. And they have such good food. You should DEFINITELY come here!!!!

My friend sent me dinner when I was under the weather and to my pleasant surprise it was from Lucy's. The best pho I've ever had! Bursting with flavor without the excessive sodium. I took my time savoring every bite. Beyond thankful for friends with grray taste in food. Highly recommend!

The most interesting mix. The brisket pho is literally like southern brisket from Texas mixed with pho. The southern brisket still retains its BBQ taste. I looked up the history of that meal and apparently the owner used to work at a brisket place. I think it's cool that he did that, but be aware that when you come here that it's not traditional pho. Personally, I didn't mind, but people who are here for that strong spirit pho will find it elsewhere. It is hard to start businesses so definitely wishing him the best.

I usually do not write instant review but this place deserves one. First of all, the best delivery packaging that I have ever received and will probably receive in the future: they have their own bag and utensils packed in cute packaging. Also, taste of the pho was impeccable and by far the best pho in Brooklyn for sure. Will definitely order for more!

When you're super hungover and look forward to your favorite pho so you pay $3 for extra jalapeños and get this. Not to mention I received 2 siracha packets when I clearly requested more.

Never can go wrong with Lucy's. They have a small menu, with repetitive ingredients. So you know exactly what you're going to get each time. The Vegan Ginger Chicken Bahn Mi is to die for! The flavors are immaculate. The Vegan Pho is also amazing. Basically the sandwich but in a delicious broth. Perfect for cold days. 10/10 would recommend.

On a Sunday stroll through my neighborhood dying of hunger and I walked past Lucy's. I was contemplating on whether I should get my lunch from here, however, I am glad that I did. This sandwich was very light and tasty. I did wait quit a while for my food, but I was then informed by one of the kitchen staff that my sandwich had to be remade due to him burning my bread. The wait was well worth it. The service is great! I recommend for a nice lunch with a friend.

Nah. Sorry this is not it Banh mi was whatever and the lemongrass bowl was also meh. Chicken was kinda dry and didnt have that much flavor Service was fine, i got takeout. But as for ambiance, dont take a date here it seems more fast casual than anything But yeah i would not recommend it and its not good lol. Would probs never go back.

I don't want to hate on this and it's a go to for convenience but... its just ok. I'm not a fan of the food but I appreciate the vegan chicken option.

Late night Pho. Just perfect after a long day. We did not want a restaurant meal. And pizza, which was the other choice, just seemed too heavy. The vegetarian pho was excellent. They do a nice job of packaging everything and it was all still hot when we got to our destination. Well spiced broth, a good amount of tofu, and fresh basil and sprouts. Nicely done.

I haven't been here but I ordered the brisket pho via Seamless and oh man -- wow. It's really incredible. The brisket is deliciously seasoned and tender. My biggest gripe with pho I've had in the past is that the broth is not as flavorful. This broth was spectacular. The next time I ordered I actually got broth just to have on the side, even though I got a brisket banh mi. (The banh mi wasn't as good mostly because it was messy and soggy and looked like some broth had ended up in there which was dripping out the wrapping? Idk. I ended up eating it with a fork because it was too hard to handle.) The pho was packaged well and still very hot when I received it. I'm assuming the banh mi was a fluke because otherwise my experience was really good, as was my friend's when I ordered it for her one evening.

Wow! Amazing! Stopped in and ordered the smoke Brisket Pho and smoked Brisket banh mi and it was fantastic! Portions were enough for 3 adults to eat and be stuffed. Ingredients are very fresh! I love how the broth was separate from the brisket & noodles. Staff was super friendly. Will definitely be back!

Ordered here for the first time yesterday and I'm writing this at 10am waiting for them to open. Ordered the brisket pho and it was AMAZING! I also got the PBM sauce to add and it heightened the flavor, but it's still amazing without it. To top it off I got their caramel crème dessert and OMG *chef's kiss*! Highly recommend

Old vegetables inside my summer roll , dry meat. Not a good experience the chicken does not taste good either

I love Lucy! Corny af, but it's real. I absolutely love this place. The food hit hit, like I usually get the brisket, but one of my homies got the sandwich and it was good asf. The bread is hard, but it was like that fresh baked bread you get in France. The whole vibe of the space just gives cool calm and collected. All the ingredients look and taste fresh and the service is always fast. Plus I like the logo and the red neon sign. At one point I was going here every and it's not that cheap, but worth it. I mean tell me if I'm playing or nah?

My favorite pho place in the city!!! Their beef brisket is actual large cuts of brisket. The broth is delicious and well seasoned. I still remember my shock at how delicious I found the pho to be the first time I had it. I have yet to find a beef brisket pho better then Lucy's.

Absolutely one of the best pho in Brooklyn!! I used to train to their Bushwick location and so happy they opened a new location in Bed Stuy between Bedford and Gates. The restaurant is small (as in, maybe 1-2 table indoors) so this is more so a take out joint. After spending so much money on Ubereats on their other locations, I try to walk here though that's happened once. The meat is extremely tender and the broth delicious with bits of mushroom and onions. It really hits the spot after a long night when you need soothing!!

Yay a yummy Vietnamese place nearby! With great service and portions and quality and I think I'm gonna get some more tonight....

Delicious beef sandwich, fresh ingredients, speedy service. There's a new one now in Ridgewood.
